  • These config files make the BIND RPG books look and act the way they do.

    Usage

    To make a book, put this config folder into the same directory.

    git subtree add -P config git@gitlab.com:bindrpg/config.git master

    Then copy main.tex into your main folder and make a symbolic link to the .gitignore file.

    cp config/main.tex .

    cp config/.gitignore .

    Edit 'main.tex', and input your tex files by writing `\include{my_file.tex}.

    Creatures

    You can include pseudo-randomo creatures in your adventure by summoning the names from monsters. . For example, to place a random elf in your game, just write \elf, and an elf will be magically summoned unto your adventure.

    \elf

    You can give the character a title and name by writing '\npc{symbol}{name}' as an optional argument. For example:

    \humanalchemist[\npc{\M}{Rincewind}]
    

    This would make a heading called Rincewind in bold with a male symbol, and provide pseudo-random alchemist-appropriate stats underneath.

    Syntax Symbol
    \M Male
    \F Female
    \T Team
    \D Undead
    \N Nura

    For a complete list of all the creatures and characters which can be used, see the 'monsters.tex' file. For more details on the syntax, have a look at examples in Adventures in Fenestra, or read the git's wiki.

    TeXnical Details

    This thing's handled as a subtree in the other documments, so changing it will change all BIND books.

    Personally, I keep it in a directory by the others. This allows you to do:

    git subtree -P config pull ../config master
